MARK F. COLEMAN,
ORDER
Plaintiff, 	26-CV-322 (JRC)
-against-
JAMAICA HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER;
NATHAN WASHBURN; NADER PAKSIMA;
DAVID MERKOW; JOHN DOE #1; JOHN
DOE #2; JOHN DOE #3,
Defendants.
--------------------------------------------------------x
JAMES R. CHO, United States Magistrate Judge.
The Court’s records reflect that the complaint in this action was filed on January 20, 2026.
(ECF No. 1.) The plaintiff paid the $405.00 filing fee. (ECF No. 2.)
Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the
complaint is filed, the court – on motion or on its own
after notice to the plaintiff – must dismiss the action
without prejudice against that defendant or order that
service be made within a specified time. But if the
plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court
must extend the time for service for an appropriate
period.
Accordingly, if service is not made upon the defendants by April 20, 2026, or the plaintiff
fails to show good cause why such service has not been effected by that date, the Court may dismiss
the action without prejudice.
The plaintiff is required to advise the Clerk of Court of any change of address. Failure to
keep the Court informed of the plaintiff’s current address means the Court will not know where to
contact the plaintiff and may result in dismissal of the case. 	For information regarding court
procedures, the plaintiff may contact the Pro Se Office at the United States Courthouse by calling
(718) 613-2665.
SO ORDERED.
